The voice came from outside the hall. Everyone in the room looked in surprise and looked in the direction of the voice.
I saw an old man with gray hair and an ordinary face walking into the bedroom with his hands behind his back.
Although the old man had an ordinary appearance and his robe was somewhat faded and frayed at the edges, his aura could not be ignored the moment he walked in.
Seeing who the visitor was, all the disciples and elders in charge of the Tiandao Sect in the hall bowed to the old man and said, "Greetings, Uncle Master."
Yu Xingwu also followed suit and saluted. She really didn't expect that the visitor turned out to be a crazy old man - Pu Yuzi.
I don’t even know how long Pu Yuzi had been outside the hall, and why he didn’t come in before?
But looking at the old man's attire, Yu Xingwu immediately understood.
——Compared with the other elders who were dressed in gorgeous and shining clothes, the old man's outfit was too ordinary. In anyone's eyes, he was inconspicuous and would not attract any attention.
I guess the old man came after the alarm bell sounded.
It’s just that the old man seldom returns to the sect. He is used to traveling outside and doesn’t like crowded places, so he has never entered the temple.
Because he was too inconspicuous, the people coming and going didn't notice the old man alone outside the hall.
What shocked and surprised everyone was the old man’s words: I can prove that he went to the back mountain before the incident.
Although Yu Xingwu didn't have a love brain, she was still smart. When she saw the old man calmly testifying for Shen Zhuo, her first reaction was that the old man was helping Shen Zhuo to give false testimony!
I also haven't forgotten that Shen Zhuo gave the three longevity grasses to the old man, and the old man promised to do three things for Shen Zhuo at that time.
Perjury was the first thing Shen Zhuo asked the old man to do.
The system looked at the old man and found him very pleasing to the eye.
"Host, if this old man hadn't suddenly appeared, Shen Zhuo would have been hard to clear of suspicion. He is indeed a villain! He is so thoughtful that he even found the witnesses in advance!"
The little rabbit doesn't understand: [But wasn't the person killed by my brother the disciple of old man Xuxu? In other words, he was the nephew of old man Grape. ]
[Since they are the uncle and nephew, aren't you afraid that Grape Old Man won't fulfill his promise? If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't dare to tell Grape Old Man about the murder.]
System: "You don't understand this. Tianquan is Shengxuzi's disciple, not the disciple of the crazy old man. The crazy old man is not in the sect all year round. What kind of uncle-nephew relationship can he have with Tianquan?"
"Don't forget that the crazy old man didn't return to the sect to seek help when his time was up. Instead, he ran to Thunder Valley to look for the Longevity Heart Grass. It's obvious that no one in the Tiandao Sect cares about the life or death of this great-grandmaster."
"If that's the case, why can't the crazy old man fulfill his promise? What if the old man and Shengxuzi are not on good terms? Don't forget that the old man promised at the time that he could do anything, even kill people."
Yu Xingwu felt that what the system said made sense. No matter what, it was a good thing that the old man could fulfill his promise.
The others didn't know about the deal between Shen Zhuo and Pu Yuzi. After the greetings, they all looked at Pu Yuzi in disbelief.
After all, Shen Zhuo is a disciple of Tianlan Sect, and Pu Yuzi is the great uncle of Tiandao Sect, and he is away from the sect for most of the year. Everyone really couldn't understand why Pu Yuzi came out to testify for Shen Zhuo.
Yu Zheng was originally waiting to see Shen Zhuo being captured by everyone, but the appearance of Pu Yuzi made Yu Zheng stunned on the spot.
Just now he said that Shen Zhuo was talking nonsense and that the back mountain of Tiandao Sect was not something that an outer sect disciple like Shen Zhuo could enter. Now he was slapped in the face.
Yu Zheng was suddenly slapped in the face, and Yun Ci, Ling Che and Feng Chen felt inexplicably relieved.
Especially seeing that Yu Zheng's face was not very good at the moment, the three of them felt that Pu Yuzi appeared at the perfect time.
Feng Chen had heard Yu Xingwu's thoughts before, and also heard Yu Xingwu talk about the Thunder Valley. He already knew that Pu Yuzi was giving false testimony, so it depended on whether Sheng Xuzi believed it or not.
Shengxuzi looked at Puyuzi with scrutinizing eyes, as if he wanted to judge the truth of his words from Puyuzi's subtle expression.
Shengxuzi didn't know when Puyuzi became acquainted with the disciple of the First Sword Master.
But Shengxuzi didn't know much about Pu Yuzi. To be precise, since the death of their master, Shengxuzi had seldom seen his fellow apprentice.
Although outsiders did not know, Shengxuzi knew it in his heart. Because of the death of his master, Puyuzi hated his senior brother very much.
If it weren't for him, the master wouldn't have died. The relationship between the two brothers has become extremely cold since the master's death.
It was also from this time on that Pu Yuzi was away from home all year round and seldom returned to the sect. This time he returned to the sect a hundred years had passed since his last return.
For a hundred years, Shengxuzi had no idea what Puyuzi had done outside or who he had met, and he was skeptical about Puyuzi's testimony.
The second and third elders were also half-believing and half-doubting. They looked at each other, and finally Shengxuzi asked, "Brother, were you joking just now? How can an outer sect disciple enter the forbidden area in the back mountain?"
"When did you get acquainted with Sword Master's disciples? Could it be that you and Sword Master still have some dealings?"
While speaking, Shengxuzi looked at Feng Chen, trying to find the answer on Feng Chen's face.
However, seeing only an icy face, Feng Chen had no intention of answering.
Pu Yuzi looked calm and laughed: "It seems that Senior Brother doesn't believe what I just said."
"It's okay. I know most of you don't believe me, but the fact is this. Before the incident, this kid was indeed on my peak and never left."
"I am not familiar with Sword Master, but I have been traveling for many years and have a good relationship with this kid. If this kid had not said that he already had a master, I would have accepted him as my disciple long ago."
"Although we are not destined to be master and disciple, he and I have a strong affinity. At that time, I gave him my personal jade token."
"That jade token is the jade token that allows you to enter the forbidden area in the back mountain. It was my senior brother's birthday, and I saw this kid again. After enjoying the flowers, I sent him a message and asked him to take the jade token to find me in the back mountain."
"Before the alarm sounded, he had been playing chess with me on Old Man Peak. He did not lie just now. I am indeed his old friend."
"If you don't believe me, you can see that my jade token is still on him."
Shen Zhuo met Pu Yuzi's gaze, but he didn't know that the jade token Pu Yuzi gave him was a jade token to enter the forbidden area in the back mountain of Tiandao Sect.
Yu Xingwu was also stunned for a moment, thinking that the old man was really careless!
She had always thought that it was just a jade slip used for transmitting sound, with the old man's name engraved on it. She had never known that the jade tablet was actually a jade order to enter the forbidden area in the back mountain of Tiandao Sect.
Then, Shen Zhuo took out the jade token given to him by Pu Yuzi under the gaze of everyone.
On the fluorescent white jade plate, the three words "Pu Yu Zi" were clearly engraved, and on the other side was engraved the sect totem exclusive to the Tiandao Sect.
Others may not recognize this jade token, but the elders of Tiandao Sect who live deep in the back mountains do recognize it.
——What else could this be but the jade order to enter the back mountain!
